About Whispers of The Rain (YouTube Series / Original VA Comic)

Story Summary / Elements to the series:

Whispers of The Rain is an upcoming 'gritty late 90s style nostaliga trip' "comic series" (I say comic lightly) that is coming to YouTube and will feature voice acting, music, and a fully fleshed out story.

The style is also inspired by the late 90s show "Ka-BLAM!".

*PREVIEW IMAGES OF ROLES BELOW ARE NOT FINAL DESIGNS*

Story:

W.O.T.R takes place in Modesto, California during the early 2000s.

With the town under control by a horrible "military without borders" known as the P.H.R.C, the once loveable city is now home to gangs, crime, drugs, tons of hobos, as well as mysterious creatures that go bump in the night.

Aside from having a military of it's own, the P.H.R.C has a secret weapon on it's hands...

The RAIN virus.

This virus holds many stange abilities and could even bring people back to life...with a price...

After a few dangerous test subjects escape into the city, the P.H.R.C awakes a deceased soldier only known as Killa in an effort to get him to eliminate or capture the escaped test subjects.

Upon being released into the city, Killa struggles to understand what he is while also trying to track down the test subjects.

After learning that they are misunderstood, Killa (along with the help of a friend and fellow P.H.R.C member, Mr.Dudley), decide to secretly help the escaped test subjects in an effort to prove to both them and the P.H.R.C that the test subjects are closer to humans than they want to believe.

-The series will also feature music, random skits (depending on the nature of the episode), and plenty of dark comedy, as well as a very complex and VERY dark undertone.

-There will be a bit of swearing, gore, real-life themes and lessons, and body horror, but considering it is very cartoon-like, it shouldn't be an issue to too many people.

-The average episode will run from 3-12 minutes long depending on the nature of the episode.

There will also be very interactive hidden lore videos and creepy undertones.

-There will be a mysterious background story just waiting to be unlocked that will require the communities' participation in an ongoing case to solve the frightening undertone of the series.

Requirements / RULES:

-You MUST have a good microphone. I can't emphasize this enough:

DECENT QUALITY MICS THAT CAN RECORD WITH PERFECT CLARITY.

If a recording has background noises (voices, truck driving by, fan blowing into your mic), it will HEAVILY affect the audition process as well as judging and may hinder your audtion pointless

. Re-Record again and again until you get that perfect voiceline.

For the best effect, try using a microphone such as the 'Blue Yeti' or 'Blue Snowball'.

Those mics are fairly affordable on the market and work EXTREMELY well with programs like Audacity.

-YOU MUST HAVE A SKYPE ACCOUNT, OR MAKE ONE.

Although it sounds really dumb, miscommunication and distancing of ones self is the worst thing you could do when trying to audition or even when communicating with the creator.

With a Skype account (which is free and only requires a mic and email), we could not only talk one on one whenever you'd like, but we could also keep up on the project, test some stuff out, and get to know eachother better so you won't have to feel like a stranger to others in the project.

-THINGS THAT COULD ABSOLUTELY SCORE YOU THE ROLE:

1. If your voice acting skills suit the character, you could surely get the role of your chosen character.

2. ( JUST OPTIONAL, NOT REQUIRED BUT IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) Singing singing, and singing. Singing could land you a role instantly if you could sing well for that proper character, it just depends on how you sound overall and what you can sing. People who could play instruments are also always welcome.~

3. Dedication. If you are dedicated enough to play a character, you'll try your best. If you try your best, you could land a role.

4. Creativity. When you audition, try to think outside the box. Just think of things like, "What would this character say if I was that character?" or things like "I'm going to improv some of these lines to make them feel more genuine to this character ".

Being creative will get you places <3

5. Improv. Improv (or making your own lines when recording) could help you a lot.

It shows that you are willing to go the extra mile to make the character feel very in touch with his/her's personality. Add your own lines for some fun~

-LOVING THE ROLE.

"What will this do for my portfolio? Could I get famous off of this?"

Don't ask. It's not about fame, my friend. It's about FUN, and PASSION, and HEART.

If you really care about this project, or are at least very interested in it, you'll know that this project

was made to satisfy fans, not your ego and fame.

Sure, you could get known for that specific role, but it isn't about that.

If you audition for a role, audition because you feel as though the character could really suit you.

Don't audtion if you feel like the role isn't for you.

Only audition if you are passionate enough to be remembered for such an awesome role.

I can assure you, people will adore you....but only audition for what you WANT to do and are

capable of doing.

Love the character, ask about the character, love yourself <3

[wow that was cheesy]

-COMMUNICATION.

I can't stress this enough. Communication is the key to success.

Even if you are shy, don't worry. I'm easy to get along with and I'm willing to help you any way I can.

Having a Skype will help you GREATLY in this situation.

Not only would I like my finalized voice actors to speak with eachother, but I'd also like to speak with you one on one so you could learn more about the project as well as get better familiarized with the people on the project, the creator, and what we are trying to accomplish.

-NO SELF CENTERED JERKS ALLOWED. NO FLAKES EITHER.

Think you are the star of the show? Think you are so great that you need special treatment?

You'll be treated with respect and friendship like anybody else.

Don't ever dare put down other voice actors auditioning or other people.

Be treated as you want to be treated.

Respect others.

This isn't about making money or beign better than others.

This is about entertaining people and making fans happy.

If aren't willing to treat others with respect, then you could step out- someone who really wants your role could easily replace you.

Once again, everybody is human- so treat them with respect please.

And don't audition if you know you can't. Flakes aren't welcome.

DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN. FUN IS WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS <3

Music and Inspirations:

A big part of W.O.T.R is the music.

W.O.T.R has been heavily inspired by the music of bands like The Birthday Massacre, Submersed, Evanescence, Theatre of Tragedy, and many 80s/2000s music.

Whispers of The Rain will not only feature known music (protected by fair use of course), but will also feature original music and audio cues.

We are also looking for people who could sing, because it would certainly give us (and you) a bigger chance of making for original and memorable music.

As for visual inspirations, a lot of the visuals and art are based of the works of artists like Z-T00N, Eye-B0nes, and even Tim Burton.

History of W.O.T.R:

2009:

A dumb child named Brandon King began creating characters for a future project.

Although these characters were still in their early stages, Brandon had no idea what they would evolve into within the next decade.

2010:

Whispers of The Rain once started out as a simple and poorly made comic, but eventually got the attention of several hundred people who eventually became fans and viewers of it's daily blog posts.

After a two year run, W.O.T.R ended due to loss of creator interest and seemed to just fade away.

With the blog deleted due to numberous reasons, nobody was sure it would ever come back.

June 2013:

After nearly four years in the gutter, W.O.T.R was briefly revived as a series of one-off comics and various

drawings made just for fun. However, it was soon discontinued once again due to creator disinterest.

June 2015, The Golden Year:

After two years of inactivity, W.O.T.R was continued, but had a new design and style.

Not only was it inspired by music from the Early- Mid 2000s, but it was very focused on tone and emotion.

A series of new characters were added and finalized, one of these characters being Sapphire.

With the addition of Sapphire, a very in-depth and complex lore and story was added due to Sapphire playing an important role in the comics.

Although a majority of the art and comics had been scrapped to make room for major improvements, some old W.O.T.R comics and art may still be able to be found in the depths of Myspace and unknown pages of the internet.

In addition to major improvements, W.O.T.R managed to make 150 Fans (and growing) on Deviantart.

After many trials and errors, the fanbase figured out what they really wanted...

A FULLY FLESHED OUT YOUTUBE SERIES.

July 2016, The Start of the YouTube Series:

After much talk and planning, Brandon's team (Endless Rain Productions) decided that they would in fact create a YouTube series for W.O.T.R.

However, the team dissipated, leaving Brandon as the only member of his production team.

With a pencil in one hand, and a microphone in the other, Brandon set out to please his fans...

And with your help, you too could be part of this history.

Significance

Legend has it that there is a sibling to Connor.

A sibling so cruel and edgy that you could cut yourself just by looking at her gaze.

That legend is Scarlet.

She pretty much hates everybody and is really aggresive.

Sometimes she'll talk in a monotone voice, sometimes she speak very creepily and agressive.

Although it doesn't take much for someone to voice her, it is highly recommended that you could also do very emotional lines when taking on the role of Scarlet.

She has a very nice side to her, but it would take a whole lot of work to unlock it.

I shall shroud the world in darkness. Only then will they bow to me as a god! *Evil Cackle* ....Oh fuck I'm so edgy.

Sapphire is the youngest of the group and tends to be pretty mature for a 10 year old.

She swears, drinks beer, and cooks food all while not having hands.

It's unknown why she is missing her hands and right eye, but it's ok!

She could somehow manage to do most things by just using her little arm bandages as a way to pick things up. However, this doesn't always work well.

She tends to be very happy, but could get VERY upset at times if something makes her feel down.

Due to her cutesy little size, she tends to sneak around and appear out of nowhere often scareing everybody else, or playing hide and seek like a pro.

Despite her happiness, she often sees creepy halucinations that cause her to go into a panic.

Relationships:

Sapphire tends to look up to Killa as a sort of father figure. They are very much alike, and also tend to hangout a lot. Whether they are cooking or playing at the park, these two are always getting into trouble.

Sapphire and Connor usually get along, but could end up fighting occasionally.

She will often call him a weirdo and then proceed to laugh at him, which he doesn't take too kindly.

Although these two have their differences, they tend to get along for the most part.

Sapphire and Scarlet have an odd friendship.

Although Scarlet hates Sapphire, Sapphire admires Scarlet for her beauty and often asks her for advice that lands her into deep trouble.

Sometimes I curl up in a little ball and pretend I'm a gumdrop! A really...REALLY big gumdrop. With teeth, and clothes! But only sometimes, I promise.

AAHG! Help! I've lost my arms again!...Well, this is nothing new.

One time I shoved a chocolate bar in my eyesocket, and I couldn't find it EEEEEVER again! I'm pretty sure it's stuck in my brain. Guess I'll just have to find out if I have another seizure-*begins having seizure freakout*

Jack is around 60, so he has a rough and gruff sort of voice while still maintaining a level of wisdom.

Jack Ember is the colonel of the "Ember Army", and focuses on carrying out illegal missions in an effort to bring in income to keep growing his fierce army.

With the help of his adopted son, Vince, Jack is hellbent on not only destroying the P.H.R.C, but also on settleing the score with William King (The creator of the virus).

Jack has an idealistic mentality, but still maintains ruthlessness in terms of both his personality and actions. Jack shows little to no emotion towards anyone other than his adopted son Vince and his deceased nephew David, whom he misses dearly.

Jack tends to argue with his son often due to their different views of war.

While Vince believes in a tactical and fair fight, Jack believes in a brutal, head-on, 'no mercy' style approach to war- including the use of nuclear weapons under certain circumstances.

Although Jack is very ruthless, he still loves his son and his nephew with all of his heart.

After the passing of his wife and his nephew, Jack began building his army as a way to part from his horrible past, but it still continues to haunt him.

As for Vince, Vince serves as a way to keep Jack going. A way to ensure that he could teach another person what he has learned. If he dies and is forgotten, he could forever live on in Vince's future ideals and actions as a military leader.

We don't use non-lethal force here, boy. We kill because it is the only way to rid this world of the filth that taints it- like the sour apple that spoils the rest of the tree's pure fruit.

Vincent, you wouldn't know anything about peace. Peace is created only through war and death- not through handshakes and treaties. If you want there to be peace on Earth, then you'll have to eliminate the wall between you and peace...even if it means risking a few innocent people.

Nuclear war is mandatory, David. It is the only way to properly win a war. (Scoffs) Do you really think you'll find peace with your father one day David? Because I don't. After he betrayed me...and you...I'll never trust him again. He is a terrorist, David. A worthless double-crossing fool....and you have his DNA.

To those auditioning, try to maintain a balance of insanity and playfulness when taking on the role of Raz. She also laughs like a total maniac.

History:

Raz is a bit mysterious, but isn't afraid to make herself known to her enemies and strangers.

As an elite assassin in the P.H.R.C army, she has certainly seen her fair share of violence and mind-altering experiences- which have caused her to have a crazy personality.

Shunned from the rest of her fellow comrades, Raz is one of the few assassins in her army to actually use "loud" techniques when hunting down her prey.

Due to being alone often, she takes target hunting time as her opportunity to meet new people- even if they are a target themselves.

She'll often purposefully spook her target in an effort to have some fun while chasing down her prey.

Although she is quite crazy and sadistic, she is fairly kind to others (even her targets)- mostly due to her lack of friends and constant longing to relive her past that she holds dear to her.

Raz will go to the extremes to kill her targets, even if it causes her harm.

She will sometimes get frustrated and make rash decisions that could really screw her over and jeopardize her mission.

To add to her foolish mistakes, she will often believe anything that anybody tells her- as long as it appeals to her interests and desires.

She loves to listen to alternative metal and often listens to music while hunting people down.

Although cruel in nature, she carries her Teddy bear (Mr.Sugarplum) with her everywhere she goes as a reminder of her childhood, and even talks to him despite Mr.Sugarplum being just an old teddy bear.

HAH! You think you're better than me? Nobody can beat me, afterall, I was top of my class in the military...well, until they kicked me outta the military.

Raz-BERRY? You jerk, I'm not a berry! I'll make you pay for this....(Sighs) why does everybody make fun of my baby fat?!

What's that Mr.Sugarplum? Kill them all? Sounds good to me! (Maniac laughter)

Connor was created by a man named Professor Lluvia, hence Connor's last name.

Although he has a Spanish last name, just like his sister, he is just your average white american.

Connor is a bit shy, but is often very playful and very feminine- both in terms of his voice and the way he looks and acts. However, he also has a very dark side to him that he tends to hide unless he is around Killa in privacy.

Although he is refered to as....well...a "he", it is truly unknown what HE really is.

Even he doesn't know. This is more than likely because Connor was genetically engineered.

He loves hugs and randomly tasting people, and he is very weird to the point where he may stand out amoung others in the worst of ways.

Connor is a bit empty-headed and crazy, but he can be very caring towards the people he loves.

As for the darker side to him, he could get rather violent if he were to be pushed around.

Considering he like a wolf in sheeps clothing, or in this case a mutant freak in human's clothing, he could often lash out by mutating and harming other people- or he'll just scare them off by showing what he really looks like under his skin.

Not to mention, just like his sister, he could shapeshift into pretty much anything.

In terms of friendships and relationships, he trys to be close with his sister Scarlet. but she hates him. Either way, Connor still cares for Scarlet as a sister despite their extreme differences.

Connor's friendship with Killa is a bit...odd.

Connor is attracted to Killa, but Killa doesn't feel the same way towards Connor.

As a result, this coul often cause conflict between the two of the, but they still maintain a steady friendship regardless.

Connor and Sapphire's friendship can be shakey at times.

One moment they'll team up to play a prank on Scarlet, the next moment they might be angry at eachother. Due to both of them being childish, they tend to argue a lot. But regardless, Sapphire and Connor are like siblings.

Wow! I've never seen a human like you before. You look so weird, and you have a weird face...do you mind if I taste you? You know, just to learn more about you and stuff.

Oh I think you would just LOVE my sister. She's very caring, nice, sweet, *giggles* and she rarely ever disembowels anybody!

You...you won't leave me, will you? Because I think you and I could be very close- like best friends. *Gets all creepy* VERY special friends.
